The guys are currently filming an exciting local film based on the vehicle modifications and quartermile racing industry.
The movie is called ‘The Race-ist’ and is due for release on the 11 December 2009 at Cinemas nationwide (Distributed by the amazing Nu-Metro).
The film stars DJ Fresh, Kurt Darren, Ian Roberts, Jonnie Pienaar, Nicole Smart, Liezel van der Westhuizen and many other great actors and personalities.

On Sunday the 9th of August 2009 they will be filming the major race finale scene. They need approximately 5000 extras with cars, Bikes and all things bright and cool to really show off how cool our country and it’s people are. Unfortunately, paying for 5000 extras would cost ridiculous amounts of money… So what they are hosting an expo at the Rock raceway in Benoni on Sunday the 9th of August 2009.
(Extras on a movie are the people in the background to fill scenes).
A small entry fee will be charged (20 bucks per person) at the gate to cover the expenses of the venue owners and all the logistics they have to activate to cater for such a big crowd. Bring Picnic baskets and Braais and stuff like that… we want to show off the spirit of South Africans to the rest of the world!
They will be filming bits and pieces of the event while shooting racing scenes with the stars on a specially tarred, sunken Quartermile track on the premises. You can expect to see very cool stuff there, from supercars to drifting to funnycars and FHM girls… They’ll also be filming scenes with Kurt Darren and DJ Fresh.. and so forth and so forth… Make sure you are there, it’s going to be very exciting!

Directions(Di “rock” tions)
Getting to The Rock is pretty easy no matter where you are coming from! Yes it’s in “The Pan” but it’s only a 35min hop from Sandton.
(Unless Tim “V12? Stephens is driving in which case its only 10mins!)
You need to get onto the N3 if you are coming from the north or south.
When you happen upon GILLOOLY?S interchange, you want to follow the signs for the N12 WITBANK. This is the same junction as if you were headed to the airport.
From PRETORIA, it is quicker to take the R24, cut through BENONI and then hang LEFT onto SNAKE ROAD.
If you live in the East Rand, get yourself onto the N12.
Once you are on the N12, you head straight till you get to “SNAKE ROAD”.
When you are on SNAKE ROAD (turn RIGHT when you come off the highway), you will be looking out for MAIN REEF ROAD. At the fifth set of traffic lights hang a LEFT onto MAIN REEF ROAD move over to right hand lane travel straight for +- 3km.
You will go under a bridge and then you want to look out for The Rock on the left.
Easy!
